I don't think you can do in Wolfram Alpha, but you must be able to do it in Mathematica. Of course, Mathematica is the computational engine behind Wolfram Alpha, but that does not mean a non-paying Alpha user has access to all the capabilities of a paying Mathematica owner.

The gordian know is created by following a point on a circle thatrotates within a circle correct? So if i bend a thin sheet ofaluminium into a circle and also create a metal disc with a pointyneedle attached at the side of circumreference and start roling itinside the encircling aluminium sheet, it will if we adjust thealuminium sheets cirumcrefrerense at a certain radius form the classicgordian knot.

Is there something about the ratio between the two circles that couldbe analogy to the ^ 6666 is not the normal number of soldiers in aRoman Legion, and its appearance in this context is interesting forits similarity to 666, which has a diametically opposite associationas the well-known Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation.

Is there something about area or the radius of the inner circle being2/3 = 0.6666... in the Thebian shield, is there mathematical mysticismwithin catholism?
